So I have Health Anxiety..... what now? am I going to die!?!?

I worry about every pain

Now I think it oral cancer but seeing the dentist, white thing on gum, must be cancer, even though it likely a millliion of other things, i had a root canal done in 2006 and abcess in 2015

I serious think everything is cancer or something serious until it it being proof it is not serious by number of trips of GP and dentist

Dont read newspaper online because there is always an article about person x got or was mis

Has anyone found a medication that helps with HA? My Gp has offered a couple of SSRi's but because the main side effect when starting out for me has been increased anxiety I've never stuck with them.

Hi, thanks so much for your story. I can definitely relate. I struggle almost daily from ailment to ailment...Google this what if that etc. Driving myself crazy. I like your steps and honestly have heard most of them before...but never actually did them. It's time! Thanks again

I also worried about my testicle, urine whether I saw blood this was my first wee of the day, never happened again but I am worried, I got a lot of things to talk about my anxiety and worries to the doctor, I think everything is the big c, I meant to be an uncle in October but .

My biggest worry right now, aside from my swollen tonsils and terrible breath, is chills and hot/cold flashes, but even these could be caused anxiety apparently.

I worried about every symptom I get now.

I want to thank you for this post, sounds like me to a tee, even the work I am putting in to loose weight and then nasty voice creeping in what if it's cancer. I worry about heart issues, diabetes, cancer, blood clots , if I cut or hurt myself to where is caused blood will it stop, to tingling in arms and hands yeah Google is not the answer but yet we keep going to google and freaking ourselves out more
